Matter |
Matter is anything which has a mass and occupies space. |
Mass Space |
|
|
Kinetic theory of matter |
All matter is made up of tiny particles, that are in constant motion, because of the kinetic energy they contain |
Particles ( atoms/molecules/ions) Energy |
|
|
Diffusion |
The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, until the particles are evenly distributed. |
Occurs in both liquids and gases |
|
|
Osmosis |
The movement of water particles from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration, through a semipermeable membrane. |
Occurs in living cells Cell membranes are semipermeable membranes |
|
|
Brownian motion |
The constant irregular motion of larger particles as they are bombarded by constantly moving smaller particles |
Air and water particles constantly moving |
|
|
States of matter
|
The form matter takes (solid, liquid or gas), based on the physical conditions in which it is placed |
Liquid Solid Gas |
|
|
Solid |
Particles are very close together in a very orderly fashion. Forces of attraction so strong that the movement is limited to vibrating around a fixed point |
That is the hint |
|
|
Comparison between solids, liquids and gases |
Table shows comparisons |
No hints |
|
|
Liquid |
Particles are further apart The arrangement is less orderly Forces of attraction are weaker so the particles are able to slip slowly over each other |
That is hint |
|
|
Gas |
Particles are very far apart and haphazardly arranged The forces of attraction between particles are so small that the particles are able the move freely in all directions at high speeds |
That hint |

Changes of state |
